The reasonable candidates are Alonso, McNeill, Cecchini, Evans, and Smith. The only problem I see is that there isn’t a real outfielder among them, and 4th outfielder is a legitimate need. I’d keep Smith and Cecchini down, call up the rest. However its reasonable to let McNeill and Alonso to see AAA first, even though there maybe isn’t much they can learn in Vegas.
Of course, the Mets would actually call up Zach Borenstein, Tebow, and a reliever.

This is just the most embarrassingly and obviously wrong example of it.

All the others could have been at least justified if the mets had, like a competent organization, cut bait when it obviously wasnt going to work out. (they didn’t.) I didn’t love the Reyes and Gonzales signings, but fundamentally I at least understood them. This one is just baffling in every single way, though.
